Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
-- Macbeth, Act 5, Scene 5

Here are the photos from a wonderful family weekend. My grandson was the focus of the visit because he is off to the Navy next week. And yes, we were too involved with soaking up our time with him to take any pictures. I hate it when that happens.

I had never heard of hedgehogs as family pets. My soon-to-be 43 year old daughter is getting a hedgehog for her upcoming birthday. It is almost certain that her daughter who is 12 will assume ownership of this pet right away. Evidentally these cute little critters make great family pets. Do you know anyone who has a hedgehog for a pet? Theirs is already named Mrs Tiggy Winkle and they will call her Winkie.

Do you have the app "DRAW SOMETHING" on your cell phone? It is a free app and I absolutely
love it. Here are a few of my favorite drawings that I felt a little
proud of. My friends and family members who play this game absolutely
astound me with their talent. If you don't play, you should give it a
try. Now you know why I am so preoccupied with doodling on my blog posts:)

Lynn at Good Things Happened has talked about about avocado toast. I am cooking everything these days on my waffle iron. Seemed like a good time to copy her idea and make my own low calorie, healthy avocado toast breakfast on my waffle iron. It was crispy, crunchy and delicious.

Select traditional olive oil.

Spray butter Pam and prepare toast for flavor.

Get the avocados ready with favorite creole seasoning.

Cook toast in waffle iron to crispy brown.

Spread seasoned avocado and enjoy crisp and crunchy taste treat.

Another favorite waffle iron treat is my own invention Annie's All American Waffle Toast. Scramble and egg and add milk. Break a piece of wheat bread into the mixture. Pour onto heated and treated waffle iron and cook for 3 minutes. Sprinkle powdered sugar or serve with margarine and low calorie maple syrup. It is like scrambled French toast.

I am having a lot of fun cooking on my waffle iron and there are a lot of web sites devoted to recipes for cooking this way. You can use tortillas and cheese and lots of different mixtures. I am thinking about ordering this book Will It Waffle.Do you ever cook things besides waffles on your waffle iron?

My freezer door was left open and some things thawed a bit. Reading about such an occurrence I learned that most food will be alright but fish should be discarded for the sake of safety. This meant a package of salmon was going to the cats. I took one unopened packet of the salmon out to their dinner table, cut it open and quickly broke it into six pieces. Each cat grabbed a piece and it was obvious they loved it a lot. I could not wait to give them this treat again the next day.Instead of opening the packet at their dinner table, I cut the packet open in the house and put it in a paper bowl with six pieces already cut up for them. Little did I anticipate the aroma reaching them before I got there. Suddenly I had six cats climbing me like a tree and clinging to be as they fought for the salmon. I dropped the bowl and ran for my life. There is more salmon but it is going to be a while before we try this again.

Forgive me but I am on a doodle kick and had fun illustrating this cat attack.

About Me

Favorite quote by Angie Worth: "Faith is what holds us together while religion tears us apart."
ABOUT ME: I avoid the news. I have turned off my political upheaval. My days of political activisim are supposed to be over. My hands have been thrown up in surrender and I try to be the best wife, mom, grandma, sibling and chicken farmer that I can be. "I am alive, I am alive by God's grace, I am living in God's care."
